01/Who we are
A social enterprise built on a vocal school
Iberia 2025 Inc. is a social enterprise founded in New York in 2025. It operates the children's vocal ensemble “Iberia”, originally established in New York in 2019 under the auspices of the Dancing Crane Company, a Georgian cultural center.
In 2025, on the basis of a strong partnership between the Dancing Crane Company and Iberia 2025 Inc., a solid social initiative was launched — dedicated to the psychosocial empowerment, cultural integration and language adaptation of migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking children and adolescents.
Our work goes beyond the boundaries of standard music education. We use art and creative self-expression as a universal language to restore emotional stability, overcome trauma, and support the successful resocialization of children within their new social environment.
Mission
To create a safe, inclusive and emotionally supportive educational space. Through the innovative TIMM model we turn music into a tool that helps children manage stress, build self-esteem and foster cross-cultural empathy.
Vision
To establish Iberia 2025 as an internationally recognized multicultural bridge in the implementation of trauma-informed arts education platforms.
02/Legacy
The legacy of ensemble “Iberia”
The roots of the “Iberia” ensemble date back to 1989 in Georgia, where it played a major role in raising and nurturing successful generations of talent. Generations of students passed through its ranks, including prominent figures who achieved widespread acclaim — such as Diana Gurtskaya, Sopho Maskhulia and Amiko Janelidze — among many other successful individuals.
In 2019 Ekaterine Chichua re-established the children's vocal ensemble “Iberia” in the United States under the cultural center Dancing Crane Company. The ensemble has been operating successfully in New York for six years, helping immigrant children master vocal technique, build stage presence and cultivate refined musical taste.
